"Congratulations to the three generals!" Lu Xiangsheng put the paperwork back into his sleeve.
There was a deathly silence under the tent at first, and then a burst of cheers erupted, and the generals standing around Ding Mao, Jiang Pai, and Zhai Zhe each bowed their hands to congratulate. Lu Xiangsheng's cheeks twitched slightly, and he seemed to smile as well. When the scene was quiet, the three of them came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and said in unison: "Serve the Ming Dynasty, serve Your Majesty, and serve the Governor." ”
Although Ding Mao was transferred, he was transferred from the border of Datong Town to the rich land of Shanxi, and there were many recruits assigned to the soldiers and horses in Shanxi Town last year. For Zhai Zhe, this was really an unexpected joy, and all the worries in the past disappeared completely. He didn't think that Fan Yongdou was lying to himself, but what happened behind this must be beyond his imagination.
"The generals should fight bravely to kill the enemy, defend the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and in my Xuanda Town, meritorious service will be rewarded, and the guilty will be punished!" Lu Xiangsheng's tone was soothing, and it had a majesty in the ears of the generals.
These words echoed in Zhai Zhe's ears, as if Lu Gong was only speaking to him. He suddenly felt that all his efforts outside the fortress were not in vain, and the meaning of the battle he raided on Guihua City was clear to Lu Gongqing, otherwise how could he ask for credit from the imperial court. Somehow, the pair of worn leather boots that Lu Gong wore in the military camp that day suddenly flashed in his mind, "If the Ming officials are like Lu Gong, how can there be chaos in this world!" ”
Unfortunately not!
After the military meeting, Lu Xiangsheng was sent back to the generals, his expression could not hide his tiredness, and he had not yet gotten rid of the sadness of his father's death. This time, he adjusted the Xuanda generals, and suddenly promoted two deputy commanders, and he did not leak a little bit of tone before, and the generals couldn't figure out the future of Xuanda Town for a while, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense with each other.
The official document of the military department arrived in Datong Town a week later, and Zhai Zhe led the troops and horses of the headquarters to change Jiang Jiao, and brought the victory fort under his rule, and he finally had access to the grassland. Subsequently, Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, invited the generals to a banquet and praised Jiang Pai and Zhai Zhe at the banquet.
At this point, Zhai Zhe has already guessed that Lu Xiangsheng will not leave the post of Governor of Xuanda, which may also have something to do with why he was able to change from the rumored removal to the promotion to the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong. If Lu Gong doesn't leave, the ghost of Xuanda Town still has to live honestly.
Back in Datong Mansion, now that the border is temporarily fine, Zhai Zhe took the time to go home for a while. In the past few years, the war has been together for half a year, and Zhai Zhe has few days to stay in the mansion, and although he has the station of Fort Victory, he is not ready to move his family there.
Only then did he enter the General's Mansion, and a group of people came to greet him. Fan Yi stood opposite with her son in reserve, with a slight smile on her face, and Ulan followed behind her, with an impatient look, which made Zhai Zhe couldn't help but snicker. Although Ulan admires the culture of the Han people, he does not know how to hide his thoughts because of the blood of the Mongols in his bones.
Fan Yi still didn't say a word that shouldn't be asked, Xiao Tianjian could already walk staggeringly, and there was a warm scene in the general's mansion. Only Ulan seemed to be a little thinner than before, and when he saw Zhai Zhe returning to his house, he immediately entangled himself, first asking about the war in the grassland, then asking about the whereabouts of Brother Khan, and finally hearing that the Naturalization City was burned into a pile of ruins, and he was sullen.
In the past six months, Ulan has worked hard to adapt to the life of Datong, but fortunately, no one in the mansion has ever regarded her as a wife, Fan Yi and Zong Mao respect her very much, and others treat her no different than Fan Yi. Datong City is so big, and there are more lively streets, and I will feel that it is not interesting, watching Fan Yi busy revolving around his son all day long, from babbling to learning to walk, every bit of progress is full of joy, which makes Ulan envious and a little jealous. Finally waited for Zhai Zhe to return to the General's Mansion, Wulan didn't know how to hide it, and dragged Zhai Zhe to his room for many nights in a row, letting him work on his petite and toned body, eager to conceive Lin'er as soon as possible.
The people in the house had already heard the news of Zhai Zhe's promotion, and they couldn't help but celebrate, Liu Suifeng and Zong Mao were busy Zhang Luo, and there were not a few people who came to congratulate them.
The eight families were well-informed, and after hearing that Zhai Zhe returned home, they immediately sent someone to send congratulatory gifts. Fan Yongdou personally rushed to Datong and gave a gift box of two thousand taels of silver. Zhai Zhe was disrespectful, the reason why Fan Yongdou gave such a heavy gift was probably related to the news he misreported before
The two had a harmonious lunch in front of Fan Yi in the mansion, and then retreated to Zhai Zhe's study.
The study is very simple, with a set of pine furniture, four camphor chairs, and neat books on the desk. Zhai Zhe has always disliked luxury, and Fan Yi's house also follows Zhai Zhe's temperament, and there is no luxurious decoration in the house from the inside to the outside, all of which are simple and practical styles.
"I'm not in the house all the year round, and I don't have a tea house as exquisite as my eldest brother at home!" Zhai Zhe ordered his servants to serve a cup of fine Biluochun. He has been in the army for a long time, and he has been drinking tea because of his long history of meat, but he is not so particular about the quality of tea, let alone Kung Fu tea like Fan Yongdou.
"Biluochun should be this bubble method!" Fan Yongdou casually agreed, sitting on a hard wooden chair.
"Congratulations on your promotion to deputy chief of Datong!" Fan Yongdou looked sneered, he used to admire Zhai Zhe and he were the same kind of people, but now Zhai Zhe left him farther and farther away. For him, Zhai Zhe is already a thigh that he can rely on. Lu Xiang was promoted to Xuanda Town, and the two newly promoted newcomers, Jiang Pai and Zhai Zhe, according to this momentum, being promoted to the general army is just around the corner.
"I didn't lie to you about the previous news!" Fan Yongdou's composure in the face of Zhai Zhe in the past is gone, his self-confidence is only effective for those who are weaker than him, the person opposite knows all his details, and he is just a grass man.
"I believe in Big Brother!" Zhai Zhe now understands that it is Fan Yongdou's state of mind back then.
"The news of the imperial court is not something that grass people like us can find out, but fortunately it didn't cause a big disaster." Fan Yongdou sighed quietly. He still got the news from Xuanda Town, but his friends in the capital didn't reveal it at all, and he originally thought that Lu Xiangsheng's days in Xuanda Town were numbered.
Disaster? Zhai Zhe turned the teacup in his hand, and his heart palpitated, if his mind was a little less firm, I am afraid that the position of deputy chief soldier would not belong to him. Lu Gong was testing him, testing whether he was really loyal to Da Ming, especially after the rumor came out. He did his best, and Lu Gong also fulfilled his promise.
"The water depth of the capital is comparable to that of Xuanda Town." Zhai Zhe smiled.
"Just take my word for it!" Fan Yongdou sighed, cheered up and said, "As long as the business is good, what do you need, just open your mouth to the Fan family." ”
"There's really something to trouble big brother right now!" Zhai Zhe frowned.
"Please tell me something, you're welcome!"
"The business alliance went south to Jiangnan last year, and the eldest brother knows it." Zhai Zhe took a sip of tea, "Now there are five or six stores in Hangzhou and other places, but this year's supply is a little insufficient." You know, if the newly opened shop can't continue to operate, I'm afraid this trip will be a waste of time. ”
